A guide assembly 400 is fixed to the top of the fixed bracket 100 by bolts, and the guide assembly 400 is located above the driving wheel assembly 300, so that the wire bundle can be clamped between the driving wheel assembly 300 and the passive wheel assembly 600 after passing through the guide assembly 400. The setting of the guide assembly 400 can separate each wire bundle from each other to avoid interference between the wire bundles. The bottom end of the fixed bracket 100 is designed in an arc shape, and the arc length reaches the bottom of the driving wheel assembly 300, so that the clamped wire bundle can be received and transported to the re-feeding assembly. A passive wheel assembly 600 is provided at the center of the fixed bracket 100. The passive wheel assembly 600 is close to the active wheel assembly 300, so that the wire bundle is clamped between the passive wheel assembly 600 and the active wheel assembly 300, and the distance between the passive wheel assembly 600 and the active wheel assembly 300 can be controlled separately to control each wire bundle individually.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing bracket 100 includes a left fixing bracket 101, a right fixing bracket 102, an upper bracket 103 and a lower bracket 104; The upper bracket 103 is in the shape of a door, one end of the upper bracket 103 is connected to the left fixing frame 101 by bolts, and the other end of the upper bracket 103 is connected to the right fixing frame 102 by bolts.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the pulley bracket 301 is in a right angle shape, one end of which is fixedly connected to the end of the right fixed frame 102, and the other end is provided with a hole and a first rotating shaft 302 is inserted into the hole. A transmission wheel 303 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 302, and the transmission wheel 303 is connected to the output wheel 201 set on the output shaft of the driving motor 200 through the synchronous belt 202, so that the transmission wheel 303 rotates and drives the first rotating shaft 302 to rotate.

The cylinder 603 generates a force that pushes forward, and the passive wheel frame 605 can slide forward through the telescopic rod 604, thereby driving the passive wheel 606 to move forward. At this time, the active rotating wheel 308 is located at the front end of the passive wheel 606, thereby controlling the distance between the passive wheel 606 and the active rotating wheel 308. When a certain tow needs to be sent, the corresponding cylinder 603 will drive the passive wheel 606 to extend, and the passive wheel 606 extends and clamps the tow with the active rotating wheel 308, and drives the tow to move downward.

[0038] It should be noted that the cylinder frame 602 can be set according to the number of actually clamped tows, such as Figure 4 As shown, when there are four tows, four cylinder racks 602 and driven wheels 606 are provided.

[0044] Specifically, the driving motor 200 is fixed to the wire laying machine body by bolts, and can transmit power through the synchronous belt 202, avoiding the addition of additional motors to increase the volume and weight of the wire laying machine.

[0045] The material of the fixing bracket 100 is aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, glass fiber reinforced plastic or other lightweight materials. The fixing bracket 100 uses lightweight materials to reduce the weight of the entire device and improve the mobility and flexibility of the device.

[0046] The present invention also provides a method for using the wire laying head pre-re-feeding device, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the following steps are included: Step 1: Fix the fixing bracket 100 between the steering assembly and the re-feeding assembly of the wire laying machine by means of bolts, and separate the tow transmitted from the steering assembly through the guide assembly 400 to obtain the separated tow; Specifically, the fixed bracket 100 needs to be positioned between the steering assembly and the re-feeding assembly of the wire laying machine to ensure that the tow can pass smoothly, and the fixed bracket 100 is fixed to the wire laying machine through the preset holes using appropriate bolts; the fixed bracket 100 is calibrated to ensure that its contact surface with the wire laying machine is level to reduce the deviation of the tow caused by the instability of the bracket. The tow transmitted from the steering assembly passes through the sliding groove formed by the guide assembly 400 to separate the tow to obtain the separated tow; Step 2: The driving motor 200 drives the active rotary wheel assembly 300 to rotate and controls the passive rotary wheel assembly 600 to extend and retract, so that the separated silk bundle can be clamped between the passive rotary wheel assembly 600 and the active rotary wheel assembly 300, and the clamping force is used to drive the separated silk bundle to move downward, thereby obtaining a clamped silk bundle; Specifically, according to the material and thickness of the tow, the speed and torque parameters of the driving motor 200 are set, the driving motor 200 is started, and the driving motor 200 drives the active wheel assembly 300 to rotate, and at the same time controls the extension and retraction of the passive wheel assembly 600, so that the active wheel 308 and the passive wheel 606 can clamp the tow to meet the width and tension requirements of different tows; Step 3: The clamped tow is kept divided by the spacer assembly 500 and transferred to the re-delivery assembly for re-delivery, thereby completing the pre-re-delivery of the wire laying head.
